Baltimore City police Officer John Torres is charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault in the shooting Tuesday afternoon. He, the victim and the victim's wife all knew each other by working at the same grocery store.

According to court documents, Torres emptied his gun, hitting David Hohman Sr. six times as he sat in his car outside Torres' apartment.

Hohman, 34, and his wife work at a southeast Baltimore grocery store. Torres, 33, also worked there as a second job doing security. The court documents said Torres told investigators he and Hohman's wife started text messaging one another, which made Hohman angry.

The court documents said "Torres advised he got a text message from Hohman asking how he would like it if he told his wife and Police Department about his relationship with (Hohman's wife). Torres continued that he got another message from Hohman saying he was not someone to (expletive) with."

As he left his apartment to head for work, Torres said he saw Hohman driving his car toward Torres' car at a high rate of speed.

Torres said he was fearful for his life and drew his Glock firearm and began firing at Hohman. Torres advised that he carries 14 rounds in his gun, and the gun was emptied.

Torres said he was afraid Hohman had a shotgun with him and was going to kill him, but he admitted Hohman did not drive his car toward him or even open the car's door.

Police in York County said there was no weapon in Hohman's car.

Torres remains in custody on $750,000 bail. Hohman was in stable condition after surgery Tuesday.
